So glad you liked it as much as I. Good for you, Lindsey! I threw my champion Den. Nora Tokunaga away today. She bloomed here heart out I guess! Also Maxillaria Sangai. And then I got 2 new ones!!!
I put that article in our PAGES if you ever want to read it again.

I just liked the fact that the whole concept was something to be proud of..it was not only
ok to kill plants but sometimes necessary ! Now I know throwing away a $1.00 NOID Phal
is alot different than a champion....I'm not quite there yet! Hilarious!

I still don't toss live plants but if they die, it's okay.

I have tossed live plants which looked crummy, never improved/grew properly for me and wouldn't bloom. ( Cycnoches, Catasetum for sure and others) I rather give the room to something nice and blooming.

I've tossed Phals before, I tend to buy cheap NOIDS then realize I don't really want them that much Rolling my eyes.
